(13,425 posts)He's what was once called a free spirit.
He was the post Anthem Stare down guy
He came up under Tony LaRussa, learned revenge from Tony and it still shows.
He'll plunk ya - and even though he's old now and the 104MPH heater disappeared a few years ago he can still go high 90s.
I like Joe. He's a ballplayer, not just an arm, a genuine athlete. In the NL he was a good hitter for a pitcher and was used as a pitch runner several times.
And not to put too fine a point on it - The Astros cheated. They stole signs and warned hitters about curve balls so they only looked at fastballs.
Kershaw threw 56 sliders or curves in his World Series starts and the Astro hitters swung at 0 of those pitches.
ZERO.
They deserve what they get
The best move of his night was throwing pick off throws to 1st making Bergman dive to the base over and over

(57,489 posts)Baseball polices itself that way. He was also on the Redsox when the Astro cheated against them.

(37,795 posts)That was until they hired Dusty Baker to help redeem their reputation.
I am a HUGE fan of Dusty Baker, and I really hopes he has a chance to grab the brass ring before he rides into the sunset ....again.
It doesn't look like my Giants have a shot this year, but I could really, really see the LA Dodgers pitted against the Astros in the playoff.
Does anyone know the back story why Dusty Baker added a Jr. to his jersey? I don't ever remember seeing it before.
